Homeland Security Group International Appoints Dr. Dave Warner, M.D., Ph.D. as Science Advisor
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - May 30, 2007) - Homeland Security Group International
(PINKSHEETS: HMSG) announced today that the company is pleased to welcome
Dr. Dave Warner, M.D., Ph.D. to the Advisory Board as Science Advisor.
Dr. Warner, a medical neuroscientist, has an MD/PhD from Loma Linda
University, is the director of the Institute for Interventional Informatics
and has gained international recognition for pioneering new methods of
physiologically based human-computer interaction. Warner's research efforts
have focused on advanced instrumentation and new methods of analysis which
can be applied to evaluating various aspects of human function as it
relates to human-computer interaction; this effort was to identify methods
and techniques which optimize information flow between humans and
computers. Warner's work has indicated an optimal mapping of interactive
interface technologies to the human nervous system's capacity to transduce,
assimilate and respond intelligently to information in an
integrative-multisensory interaction will fundamentally change the way that
humans interact with information systems. Application areas for this work
include quantitative assessment of human performance, augmentative
communication systems, environmental controls for the disabled, medical
communications and integrated interactive educational systems. Warner is
particularly active in technology transfer of aerospace and other defense
derived technologies to the fields of health care and education. Specific
areas of interest are: advanced instrumentation for the acquisition and
analysis of medically relevant biological signals; intelligent informatic
systems which augment both the general flow of medical information and
provide decision support for the health care professional; public accesses
health information databases designed to empower the average citizen to
become more involved in their own health care; and advanced training
technologies which will adaptively optimize interactive educational systems
to the capacity of the user.
Dr. Warner has held many distinguished positions in the scientific
community. Dr. Warner, in his capacity as Science Advisor, will be called
upon from time to time to advise the company on the current state of the
emergency response networks as applies to the capabilities and strengths of
HMSG in their capacity to assist local, State and Federal agencies respond

retired FBI Agent Ronnie J. Frigulti.
ABOUT DR. DAVE WARNER, M.D., PH.D.
Much of Warner's recent work and travels have been to global hotspots where
his "intelligence on demand" has been applied to solving or ameliorating
both military problems -- mine detection in Iraq, for example -- to
humanitarian relief and intelligence gathering and distribution in
mega-disaster zones like Banda Aceh, Indonesia following the tsunami there
late last year.
"Mother Nature is the worst terrorist of all," Warner dryly observed,
pointing to the havoc caused in Banda Aceh by one of the worst disasters in
recorded history. His efforts there were focused on airborne informatics
and helping rescuers and relief workers on the ground better understand the
scope and magnitude of that far-flung disaster as it unfolded.
